Interesting coin. Makes a nice addition to my world coin collection. I added this coin to my order of three others to get the free shipping, was worth it. Very happy with Provident Metals

"realated to Somalia"

Keith on 7/26/15

Shane says it's great to see a coin related to a place that is largely known to the west via pirates and chaos. Chaos it is, my friend, as this "Somalian" coin is minted in Western *Europe*, Germany to be exact. It *is* a very nice coin made from a nice blank, and I will be looking forward to adding 2-4 of them as an example of German manufacturing soon, hopefully before the face value needs to be changed to 1 million schillings.

Great

Great design. It is fascinating to see a coin related to the country of Somalia, which is largely known to the West for being a place of pirates and chaos. Would buy again.

Offered for the first time by Provident Metals, the Somali Silver Elephants are a beautiful addition to our foreign silver bullion.

This 1 oz Silver Somalian Elephant Coin -- manufactured at the Bavarian State Mint in Germany -- is now available at Provident Metals. Struck with one ounce of .999 fine silver, the 1 oz Somalian Elephant is ideal for both investors and collectors.

The Bavarian State Mint has been producing coinage since 1158, and the Somalian African Elephant coins since 2004. The mintage of the 2004 1 oz Silver Elephant was 5,000; this has grown in subsequent years to 130,000. The Bavarian State Mint has exclusive rights to produce the Somalian African Elephants coins, which also serve as legal tender in the Somali Republic.

The Silver Somali African Elephant coins feature a new design each year. The reverse of the 2015 coin carries two Elephants wandering across the African Savannah. Trees and birds are visible in the background. “AFRICAN WILDLIFE,” “ELEPHANT” and “1 oz Ag 999” are inscribed around the image of the elephants.

The obverse features two leopards straddling a shield with a star printed at its center. Two crossing palm fronds and lances appear underneath the design along with a draped ribbon. Inscriptions include the coin’s date, denomination and “SOMALI REPUBLIC.”

The 1 oz Somalian African Elephant Coin joins an extensive offering of foreign silver bullion by Provident Metals. Each of the Somalian Silver Elephants was produced by a Sovereign Mint in an ISO 9001, which qualifies it for precious metals IRAs and insures the highest quality of production. Each coin will ship in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Individual coins will ship in plastic envelopes, multiples of 20 ship in mint tubes, and multiples of 500 in strapped monster boxes from the Bavarian State Mint.

Give your silver investments a taste of the wild with Somali Elephant 1 oz Silver coins from Provident Metals. Order online or give us a call today.
